I started teleworking when I woke up (0545) and got a lot of work done before Erin was awake too. I did some more teleworking after our light breakfast in her apartment (0915). At lunch time, we walked down to eat a good meal at Pitamore (1155). Erin had never been there and said she was glad to try it. In the afternoon, I ended up having some meetings (popped up late). I teleworked until about 1600 and then packed up my stuff so that Erin could take me to BWI (where I'd secured a rental car for the next two days). We left at around 1630 and arrived at the Hertz Rental Car pick-up location by 1700. The process for getting my car was pretty fast (although I only had three cars to choose from and two of them were electric. Not wanting to have to search for charging stations, I chose the gasoline car) and I was on my way out of the lot by 1715 (I did have to stop to request that they log some big scratches I'd found). I met up with Erin one more time (to transfer baggage) and then proceeded to the Ram's Head Roadhouse in Annapolis (arrived at 1815). It was quite crowded and I had to wait for a bit before Amanda C arrived. During that window, I tried to revive my old "World Beer Club" membership and their updated loyalty card. I'd been trying to do this since 2021 and, because of the nice staff members, I was partially successful (ready for next time!). Amanda arrived a bit later and we had a great dinner (also local beer) for the next several hours. I was in constant communication with Mollie about when I would be able to pick her up. After dinner (2005), I headed back to US-50 and drove west to I-495. I spoke with Stephanie, Erin, Brenna and Mollie on the way. I made it to US-1 by 2120 and tried to reach Mollie. She didn't answer, so I drove to the hotel (Quality Inn on US-1 near Hybla Valley), arriving at 2135. After that, I drove to Nicky's; the family had been eating dinner very late so I was lucky I hadn't arrived earlier... I got to see Austin and Erin while I was loading up the car, gave Nicky some documents of hers that I'd found and said hello to Kiki one more time. After that, Mollie and I headed to the hotel and spent some time talking. It was already quite late so we went to bed soon after getting into the room (2245). Busch Gardens tomorrow!
